Chapter 118: Souls Decree & Primal Soul Core (1/2)
❮ ◈ ❯
⠀
Eyes of the Soul has successfully ascended to Soul's Decree!
⠀
---
⠀
Soul's Decree (Lv.21): A skill worthy of the jealousy of even the strongest beings. Through the windows of the soul, the user will experience an attunement to his body and mind that is said to be even out of reach for Spiritual Creatures.
⠀
With this Demi-God Skill, nothing can stop you from learning even the hardest of techniques in a few hours or minutes. Even instantly sometimes. You can also never be taken by surprise or ambushed as your soul will never fail to notice it and warn you of the danger.
⠀
Furthermore, this skill grants you two abilities known as Astral Projection and Vow of Accord.
⠀
Secondary Effect: Permanent 200% increase to senses.

Once again, Rakna felt his senses expanding but nothing too bad. Cumulatively, the multiplicator applied to his stat had gone from 4.5 to 5 with this. Additionally, he could feel without a doubt that the quantity of soul power circulating through both his soul organ and circuits had increased.
”Good to see I didn't have to use this,” he sighed as he dismissed the Heart Cards revolving around him. After that, he promptly used Appraisal on both of the abilities granted by the skill.

Astral Projection
⠀
The art of separating the soul from the body. By shedding yourself of your physical vessel, you can navigate the world as a spiritual entity.
⠀
In that form, you are not bound by gravity or solid objects. You cannot be harmed through physical attacks and similarly cannot inflict them as well. You can switch from a visible to an invisible state at will and while severely weakened due to the imbalance of internal forces, magic will still be accessible to you.
⠀
Possession is also not beyond the realm of possibility but many risks are involved.
⠀
Note: The better your control, the farther you can distance yourself from your body. Keep in mind that the latter will also be vulnerable when performing the projection.

Vow of Accord
⠀
This is a contract between souls. Upon activation, two parties vow to each other and form a contract of life or death. If the vow is broken, the offender will lose their life.
⠀
Note: This ability can be forcefully implanted in one's soul if the user's soul power is strong enough to dwarf the target's own.

”Very useful. Both of them,” Rakna immediately commented. Vow of Accord could be used on many occasions if he took into consideration that he would most likely encounter more and more people in the future, both nefarious and sound. It would be a good thing to have the ability to make them unable to betray him or simply to gain their trust.
As for Astral Projection, the scouting possibilities were endless. However, he would need to see first how far he could get away from his physical body.
”Let's see…” He closed his eyes and pictured his soul power condensing into a concrete shape and exiting his body. Normally, this should have been an incredibly hard process. Any soul practitioner would tell you that successfully astralizing your soul was a road of self-discovery and endless training.
However, in Rakna's case, someone who now possessed an innate Demi-God skill that boosted all of his learning experiences to obscene extents, logic didn't apply.
In a burst of power, he was ejected out of his body. For him, it felt like falling backward along with his seat. Then, the next thing he knew, he was looking at the ceiling, his body lying horizontally… with no contact with the floor.
He was immobile for a good minute before he tentatively tried to move his body. But the small movement turned into an uncontrollable drive that made him fly into a wall.

Warning! You cannot phase through Filter Dimensions with a Spiritual Body.

Rakna groaned, but his voice was distorted as if he was trying to speak underwater. He pushed himself away from the wall where a thin protective barrier stopped him from actually phasing through it like he should have been able to and gradually managed to right himself up.
He looked at himself and didn't find anything different except the fact that he didn't seem to be able to put his feet on the ground. He then raised his head to looked at Pronos and Tyran, who was now back to a small size.
